Colts' Joe Philbin hired as Packers new OC

The Green Bay Packers reportedly hired Indianapolis Colts offensive line coach and assistant head coach Joe Philbin as their new offensive coordinator.

It was reported earlier in the week that Philbin was interviewing with his former team, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that Philbin will be the new offensive coordinator.

The #Packers have wrapped up their period of uncertainty: Joe Philbin is the offensive coordinator. Mike Pettine is the defensive coordinator. Brian Gutekunst is the GM. … Still some position coach jobs to fill, though.

Philbin has an extensive history with the Packers. He’s had roles including assistant offensive line coach, tight ends coach, and offensive line coach. Eventually he became the offensive coordinator from 2007-11.

Philbin joined the Colts in 2016 to be their assistant head coach and offensive line coach under Chuck Pagano, who was since fired.

Philbin also served a four-year stint as head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

The Colts are expected to bring in a new coach soon, and there will likely be a lot of turnover on the coaching staff. With Philbin gone, they need to find a new offensive line coach.
